Bug description:
SRU Justification:
[ Impact ]
* While doing ISST testing it turned out that a 2nd level (KVM)
guest (aka VM) continuously dumped when running an NFS
guest migration.
[ Test Plan ]
* Setup two IBM Power 10 system (with firmware 1060, that offers
support for KVM) with Ubuntu Server 24.04 for ppc64el.
* Setup qemu/KVM on both on these system to allow guest migration.
* Setup a KVM guest and place its disk on an NFS volume.
* Now initiate a guest migration.
* Without the two patches the initiator system will start to dump.
* Since this setup requires a special firmware level,
the verification will be done by the IBM Power team.
[ Where problems could occur ]
* Although the patch set looks huge,
the patches themselves are relatively small and less invasive
and I would consider them mainly as fixes.
* kvmppc_set_one_reg_hv() wrongly get() the value instead of
set() for MMCR3.
* And The kvmppc_get_one_reg_hv() for SDAR is wrongly getting
the SIAR instead of SDAR - which is quite traceable.
* Then a one-reg interface for DEXCR register KVM_REG_PPC_DEXCR
is introduced. Here issues can happen if the initialization
is done wrong or in the case statement.
A fix was added to keep nested guest DEXCR in sync.
The guest state element defined for DEXCR was already there,
but not really considered - this is fixed now (DEXCR GSID).
If initialization was done wrong or code in case stmt,
this can harm the guest state.
Guest state may get out of sync.
* Another one-reg register identifier was introduced
that is used to read and set the virtual HASHKEYR
for the guest during enter/exit with KVM_REG_PPC_HASHKEYR.
Again initialization and the case code are critical.
Code was added to keep nested guest HASHKEYR in sync.
Again the state element defined for HASHKEYR was there,
but not considered, what is fixed now (HASHKEYR GSID)
If initialization was done wrong or code in case stmt,
this can harm the guest state.
This can harm the L2 guest during enter or exit.
* Again another one-reg identifier was introduced
that is used to read and set the virtual HASHPKEYR
for the guest during enter/exit with KVM_REG_PPC_HASHPKEYR.
And again the guest state element defined for HASHPKEYR
was there but ignored which is now fixed (HASHPKEYR GSID).
If initialization was done wrong or code in case stmt,
this can harm the guest state.
This can harm the L2 guest during enter or exit.
[ Other Info ]
* Since (nested) KVM support is new on P10,
this does not affect older Power generation
(P9 is the only other hw generation that is supported by 24.04,
but it only supports native virtualization).
* Both patches are upstream accepted since v6.11(-rc1),
hence will be in oracular
and are also upstream tagged as stable updates.
* Since the required firmware FW1060 is relatively new,
we can assume that not many user ran into this issue yet.
